The new graphic novel horror one-shot, The Horizon Experiment: The Sacred Damned, comes to stores October 23, 2024. Writer Sabir Pirzada has written for Moon Knight, Ms. Marvel and Star Wars: The Bad Batch. She is joined by artist Michael Walsh and letterer Becca Carey. The Horizon Experiment is a series of five one-shorts, all with original protagonists from marginalized backgrounds. The Sacred Damned is the second in this series.
The Horizon Experiment: The Sacred Damned is described like this:
The Horizon Experiment: The Sacred Damned introduces the world to Inayah Jibril, Professor of Ethnography and the Occult—a “Muslim John Constantine” demon-hunting female exorcist. Arriving just in time for Halloween season, the comic is a love letter to classic horror stories, from Dracula to The Exorcist, reimagining horror tropes through an Islamic lens. Like the other titles in The Horizon Experiment, this one-shot serves as the equivalent of a pilot for a creator-owned series, with the potential of continuing should there be demand for more.
